Anthony Galie joins me today to share a revolutionary new theory of hypnosis, based on the role of mutual inhibition. He reveals how consciousness is always competing with trance-like behaviors and identifies the types of people who are most likely to respond to suggestion. Anthony describes the role of chemical switches on the hypnotic trance and shares how the hypnotic induction narrows a person’s consciousness.

Anthony is the founder of the Corporate Hypnotist Masterclass and the Anthony Galie Seminars, where he promotes his talks on the subconscious aspects of doing business. Anthony is a trained psychotherapist, author, and keynote speaker, giving thousands of speeches to major associations and Fortune 500 audiences. Recognized as one of the 30 Hottest Speakers in America, he has a Master’s Degree in Experimental Psychology from the Florida Atlantic University and a BA in Psychology from Rutgers.

“One reason why some people would be higher on the suggestibility score than others is a practice effect.” - Anthony Galie

Today, I share an update to THE ALL-POSITIVE PRETALK. I reveal the concepts behind the hypnotic pretalk and highlight why it is essential to talk about what is going to happen instead of what is not going to happen. I share why each statement is included in the process and describe the intention of each phrase. I also reveal how to add truisms, satisfy objections, and build rapport with your client.

Visit the WORK SMART HYPNOSIS show notes to get the transcript of this session!

Setting the stage for a successful client experience is essential, and it is during the pretalk that this should happen. If you find yourself working against your client’s goals or feel that you are not as effective as you could be, then your pretalk may need to be reviewed and revised. If your pretalk has negative elements, then these should be changed into positive statements to ensure your clients achieve their desired goals.

“If there is ever a negative, distance and dissociate, frame the process as being effective.” - Jason Linett
